Sancken Gives Some Interesting Information ot the War Came to Mr. B. Seigler in Jacksonville From His Father Who is at Frankford-on-the-Main- -Writer Not a Chauvinist and is Well Informed-- Tells of Conditions Just As They Exist. Mr. C. Sancken.of this city, is in re ceipt of a letter from a friend in Jacksonville, Fla., Mr. B. Seigler, in which he enclosed a Jacksonville tvspaper clipping, a copy of a letter eceived by him from his father, Mr. Ludwig Seigler, who is at Frankford on-theMain, Germany, It gives much information not obtainable by the representatives in the war zone. Following Is the letter as translated from the German: Frankfort-on-the-Main, Aug. 28, 1914. To B. Seigler: My Dear Son: We were greatly pleased to hear from you. Your fears as to our lot are absolutely without foun dation. I wrote you on August 12, but the letter was returned on account of the state of war. I remailed it August 24 this time leaving the envelope un seved. In this way we are allowed to mai : letters from Germany. However, as it is not certain that the letter has leached you, since the English capture everything that is dangerous, I repeat part cf what I wrote First of ali we thank you kindly for your fiffer of help. We are glad to say, however, that we are not in need of anything. We have hardly notioed any thing of the war, only that innumerable mUiWiy trains passed the railroad bridjfjTs across the Main for several weeks. All these bridges are guarded by soldiers the guard passes daily by our i s is about all that re minds us of the' bar. In other sections of Frankfort it looks different. At the station of South Frankfort arrive daily many wounded. They are then taken to tile hospitals by street cars. In other parts of tile cits reservists are drafted, denied and Sent off to the front. Occa sionally "lie can see great masses of peep o gather in front of shops where the latest bulletins from the front are shown, but of all these events we no tice nothing in our part of the city. We get along the same as ever, and outside of the general depression which natural ly affects everybody, we are not wor ried. We know that our affairs are in good hands and, what is worth more, that our cause is lust. The English and French and all those that blow their horn may represent the situation in whatever way they want, you can be lieve what I tell you; you know that 1 all! not ;i Chauvinist and that I am sufficiently well informed in regard to events that led to the war. Cause of Present War. Austria could not possibly look on any longer how Servian and Russia emissaries undermined her countries, which activities threatened her very ex istence. That they assassinated her heir to the throne was of itself no cause for war, but the circumstances underwhich the murder was perpetrated forced Austria to act exactly as she did. Not to have done so would have been equivalent to giving herself up. Should Germany leave her ally in the luri hc. Not only honor, but also the first law of nature self-preservation, forced Ger ms “in 'stick to Austria. And we real ize mote and more eveiv day, dav we get new proofs how good it was eng terrible war, which could have been postponed, but not avoided, broke WU Our' B kai's°ev'his given so many proofs of his desire to r eserve the Peace, has had so much patience that he was severely criticised by rnsny clear-mlmU ed conservative people.

The longer this war had been postponed the more dangerous would have been our position. Indeed, it is not so easv even now hut we shall' win.

People will not buy much winter clothing as long as the weather is not cold and just as they will not buy much summer clothing in cold weather. On next Saturday great numbers ot people will come to tow’n because it will be circus day. Then on October 19th will come fair week and thous ands will come to the city. port. of our general quartermaster. It differs from reports of our enemies In asmuch as every word Is true. As you can see, we have no reason to despair. I am sure that you will have read other reports of victories by the time you get this letter. As regards Frankfort, she offers the same picture as formerly. The people go to work or take a walk. Carriages and vehicles of all kinds pass through tlie streets. One can hardly notice any difference. It would be incorrect, of course, to say that the war is not hurt ing us. It has made deep wounds into the business world. Even if Germany herself is a strong competitor, export is practically at a standstill. Many business houses are totally or partially closed on account of the decreased de mand. Out- business is running the same as ever, only the supply suffers. Now that the mobilization is over coal, an article that is always needed, will be shipped again. Your brother has not been drafted yet. Most probably that will happen In the next few days, though. We need the re serves, or landstrum, to guard the con quered territory. You know Belgium is practically in our hands and part of France. Your brother’s family will be taken care of while lie is away. Army Resources. Your letter of July 39 arrived here August 27, and I hasten to answer it. According to reports In foreign papers Germany has called out all able-bodied men between the ages of 17 and 60. If this was the case we would have about 15,000,000 soldiers. In reality over 200,- 000 men volunteered for service and of that number not 10,000 were taken, be cause we have too many soldiers. There are any number of healthy, strong men of from 20 to 40 years not called on, and we would not have any difficulty in drafting another 3,000.000 men if they were needed. You need not worry about us at ail. Everything that is written account Internal discord, revolution and famine ate pure inventions. Germany was never as united as just now. Our strength is in every respect equal to the demands. The crop was better than ever and we have enough to eat for over a year without making any demands on foreign countries. Furthermore we can sow and harvest again, and there is no body that will disturb us. The financial situation Is also splendid. t have not drawn any money from the hank for fear of the war. Our banks are secure. How we handle the English you probably know. They are much more hated here, than the French, because they deserve no consideration. We con fidently hope that this time they will get what they deserve and that this in different world power will be shown in its true light. England must be shown that she has nothing to say and that her powerful empire is not far from crumb ling. I do not know what papers are at your disposal and how they inform their readers. if there is anything re garding this war that Is not clear to you I will gladly give you the details. Most of the American papers are probably on the side of our enemies, as we have very meager means of defending ourselves. Hut we have read with great pleasure the view expressed In the Gaelic-Ameri can, showing conclusively how the Irish look upon England’s action In this con trovetsv. I inclose this paper dipping. i know that you would gladly take part in this fight and we also know that there are still ways and means to get over here if it should he necessary. Let us hope, though, that it will not come to that and that this terrible war will soon be over. Let us hear from vou soon. Your father. LUDWIG SEIGLER. CHRISTIAN CHURCH OBSERVES PEACE DAY Rev. Howard T. Cree to De liver Special Sermon---At tractive Musical Program at Morning Service. Puruaant to the call of the president of the United States the congregation of the Christian Church has arranged to observe the day as Peace Sunday and a very attractive program has been planned. The pastor, Howard T. Cree, will treat the subject of peace In his ser mon of the morning and the choir as sisted by other musical talent will render a program of peculiar attrac tion. Several / hymns of relevancy will be sung and some special num bers will also he given. Altogether the service promises to he a rewarding one for the worshippers Among the musical numbers such hymns as "Prince of Peace.” "Before Jehovah's Throne" and “Peace. Per fect Peace" will he given; duel fur soprano and tenor. “Hearer of Pray er”; chorus by the chair, "Cod of Na tions. Far and Near"; violin solo as an offertory l>y Henor Andonegul The public is assured of s plesslng and helpful service at 11:15 a. m, * MAKE SATURDAY, OCTOBERIOTH, “DEBT PAYING DAY" IN AUGUSTA Let Everyone Pay As Much As He Can and Ask the One He Pays to Pay Someone Else---A Small Sum of Money Can Pay a Great Number of Debts if it Changes Hands Often Enough. Augusta should have a "debt paying day” and no better time can be ?selected than the tenth of October, which will be next Saturday. On tbut day every person who owes money, —and there are few who don't, —should make up his mind to pay at least a portion of it. if the amount he. can spare is small, pay it; but the more he trios to pay the better he will feel and the better his creditor will feel. If a man pays you $lO on account you pay some other man and let that man pay still another man and in this way there will be rii almost endless chain which will cause many thousands of dollars to change hands. If $6,000 is paid on Saturday, October 10th, and that amount changes hands ten times, $50,000 will have been put in the channels of trade and there is not a man hit who will feel better over it. He will benefit the man he pays and that man will, in turn, pay out the money and benefit some other. It is astonishing what even one dollar will do toward paying debts, provided that dollar, once started, is not stopped. Some time ago, in Savannah, the Hotary Club of that city appointed a committee to go out and make a purchase with a dollar, stipulating that the first mun from whom a purchase was made should purchase a dollar's worth of goods from some other man and so on until the dollar was made to buy a tremendous amount of goods. For instance, a. dollar in the debt paying way could work wonders. If one starts out and pays one dollar at some store and tells the proprietor that he must pay some one he owes and that person must pay some one he owes and so on, It will he found that by night time, —if an early morning start is made, that dol lar will have paid SIOO worth of debts. So $5 could be made to pay SSOO worth of debts and on upward. However, tor Augusta's debt paying day one would not want to confine the affair to $1 or $5, hut to get just as many people to pay Just as many debts as possible. The man who owes SSO might not he able to pay but $lO and the man who owes SIOO might not be able to pay but S2O, but anyway pay all you can. The suggestion of an Augusta debt paying day Is respectfully referred to the Rotary Club of this city. It would be a good idea to have placards printed to be placed on the desks of Augusta business men on October 10th to this effect: "All money paid U> me today will be paid out by me to those whom 1 owe." WEDNESDAY, OCT, 215 T, TO BE KNOWN AS AUGUSTA DAY AT FAIR Merchants Will Be Requested to Close Early So That Their Clerks May Take in the Exhibits and the Races. A movement is on foot to have Wednesday, the 21st of October, known as Augusta Day at the ninth annual Georgia-Carolina Fair. On this day the merchants will be asked to close early so that their employe*! may go to the fair, enjoy seeing the exhibits and witness the races. It Is not believed that any difficulty will be experienced in getting the. mer chants to close their stores for they will be glad to co-operate with the fair association in every manner pos sible. The fair has meant a great FOR CONCEALING ASSETSARREST CULM Former Haberdasher Placed Under a One Thousand Dollar Bond. Pleaded Guilty Before U. S. Commissioner T. F. Culbreth, bankrupt, a former haberdasher, whose place of business was at 308 Jackson Street, was brought before United States Com missioner C. J.

He gave bond in the sum of S6OO for his ap pearance in the United States court at 11 o'clock Saturday morning for the preliminary hearing. The case was opened before Com missioner in the United States court room Saturday at the appointed hour and the defendant, through his attor ney, Mr. Archibald lilackehear, enter ed a plea of guilty. The bond in the case was fived at SI,OOO and was sup plied later in the, day. Messrs. W. G. Ford and R. F. Tillman signing It. The case will be brought up ut the next session of the United States grand Jury, which will convene some time in May. Two negro witnesses for the gov ernment, former employes of Culbreth. were put on the stand and examined by Mr. T. F. Marshall, special agent of the Department of Justice, who in vestigated the case from the begin ning several weeks ago. In fact, Mr. Marshall spent some time In the city working up the facts, and the case, it is alleged, is a very complete one. The witnesses testified that they assisted Mr. Culbreth in taking some of his goods from his store to hts house, at 111 Broad Street. They also stated that they were given In structions by Mr. Culbreth to take th« goods in the back way from Rey nolds Street. The goods. It was tes tified, were moved on bicycles and in a wagon, and consisted of raincoats, underwear, shirts, hats and other ar ticles. according to the evidence. Culbreth'* petition in bankruptcy was filed on July l*!h. Within the fifteen day limit afterward he was de clared a bankrupt. Mr. James Bud aev was appointed trustee the latter part of August.
